ok so i bout the radio off my friend and took it out oof there car and put it in mine
i bout the adapter for the car and hooked everything up correctly i go to turn it on with teh car started and i get nuthing
all the fuses are fine but someone told me that there might be a code so can someone help me find the code or tell me if there even is a code and if not what else could be wrong?
well, if its not getting power... Make sure you have 12 volts on the red and orange wire. Orange to constant 12 volt source, and red to a switched 12 volt source. It should light up, and then tell you it needs a code. you cant just put a code into a dead unit. Maybe the units NG? test your power wires with a meter.
nope it's not dead, the adapter harness i assume a gm , does not carry a positive. u have to run an external positive and rem. do a test run see if u can find voltage reading if you cna't that's your issue. it's very common acctually so good luck.
